How to request a King’s Medical Practice appointment
The official appointment page says you can request an appointment by phoning 01924 223909, using the online form Patchs, or visiting reception during listed access hours. Patchs requests are answered within 2 working days, so do not use Patchs for life-threatening emergencies.

Call 01924 223909 if the issue needs prompt advice or you cannot use online forms.
Reception will ask what you need help with so they can guide you to a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, physiotherapist, self-referral route or urgent service.
Tell the practice if you prefer phone, face-to-face or video, need an interpreter, want a specific clinician, or have communication needs.
Cancel through your NHS account, the appointment reminder link, or phone the practice. Cancelling early helps another patient use the appointment.
Hello, my name is [your name]. My date of birth is [date of birth]. I am registered at King’s Medical Practice. I need help because [one clear sentence]. I cannot use Patchs / I need advice today. What is the safest next step?

It also explains how to request or track a referral.
